Reviews

“Scania Truck Driving Simulator reminds me of when I bought my first car. I didn’t need to have anywhere in mind to just want to get in and go there. It wasn’t about speed or trying to impress anyone nor about the destination. It was the journey and the pleasure of driving.”

“It’s probably one of the best driving simulators I’ve played, if not the best. In a matter of no time at all, I was driving a big rig around detailed locales, attaching and unloaded trailers to the back of my big rig with relative ease.”

“Imagine Tricky Truck had traded its editor and damage models, for authentic cabs and DiRTy visuals, and you’ll have a pretty good idea of what to expect from this arduous artic assault course.”

Quite a nice game for drivers who are seeking for a challenge! It obviously is different than ETS2 (Euro Truck Simulator 2) which many of the reviewers have already mentioned. It has less to offer, only one truck brand and delivering cargo seems to take the minor part in the game. Yet I do recommend it for those people who like precision-driving. This game can really teach you how to properly steer a truck with (or without) a trailer when there is not much space available to manouever. I had lots of fun doing the really challenging dangerous courses. The game includes some media, mostly photos of Scania trucks, truck-driver competitions and also some short video clips all about trucks and driving them. It maybe is not worth its full price of 15,99€, but if you can manage to grab it for 5€ or below it is totally worth it in my opinion. Recommended!

This is a good game, and extremely realistic,but it's extremely hard to master. Those who don't like driving challenges shouldn't consider this game. Those who do, on the other hand, really should get this game.

I really want to like this game. It does have some bright spots in it. The driving to point A without hitting anything to point B is fun and short. So thats good. The steering is a little on the wonky side. Their is no auto center so the steering wheel goes from right to left all the time unlike a real car that would try to go back to center.

Graphics are good and sharp looking. So events are fun. The load hauling part of the game is the so-so part. It has no auto park load so you must manually park every load you are carrying. Thats annoying. I am glad they killed that in Euro Trucker 2. However the price is only $17 dollars so its priced right. Enjoyable for short bursts. Not as addicting as ETS2.

For those who know and played Euro Truck Simulator 2: This is the same developer, so the "basics" in physics and gameplay are similar (Controls and graphics seem to be much better as far as I can tell).

The game itself is different. There is a freeride/delivery-mode as you might know it from ETS2, but it is smaller and, as far as I can see now, less complex (still much fun to play). The ´amazingness´ (Is that a word?) of this game comes from the many modes and missions. Drive along a messed-up road, a mountain pass, or a flooded area (...). This game seems to be the "middle" between ETS2 and 3, to show off what is planned for #3 and what this engine can do.

So, in short:

+better graphics+better controls+runs much more smooth than ETS2+exciting (!) roads: building sites, narrow bits and tricky obstacles of all kind+brilliant missions+online top-lists encourage competition and motivate to play every mission a thousand times+very well playable with keyboard, pad or wheel+not an easy game at all, but not frustrating->If you screw up a mission, you will go out with 0 points unable to compete with anyone online, but you will never get stuck in a mission, forced to do it a million times in order to be able to go to the next one+++Devs seem to actually read forums and watch videos about their game and listen to the players

-the AI has some minor glitches: nothing game-breaking, more funny

Conclusion: If you liked ETS2, you will love this game even more. It has everything that people wanted in ETS2.If you have never played ETS and you like to drive trucks in every kind of situation, then this game is something for you.

Scania is a great compliment to ETS2. It provides a sizable amount of Challenge Stages, broken up into a variety of disciplines. Those familiar with Gran Turismo's Licence Tests will be familiar with these routines. They're challenging and rewarding, demanding that you learn the finer nuances of skilled truck driving.

My personal highlight would be the various obstacle courses, titled Dangerous Drives. You're given a point to point stretch where you have to navigate tight passages over a great number of environments, high-mountain switchbacks, flooded cityscapes, etc. 25 completely unique environments with fresh assets to test your skills under pressure.

Game comes complete with online Leaderboards (watch top replays too) as well as a nice bonus photo/video gallery covering the real-world annual Scania driving test completions.

Just remember, this is not ETS2. It's its own beast with its own set of unique charms. It's polished as heck just like ETS2 and even shares the same engine. But that's where the similarities end. Totally worth it to Driving Simulation fans and a complete no-brainer for those who follow and enjoy SCS Software.

Recommended for fans of Euro Truck Simulator 2 or people interested in realistic truck driving sims.

Not a large sandbox world for free roaming like Euro Truck Simulator 2, but in this game the sandbox plays second fiddle to challenges and hazardous courses, and they ARE good. It would be nice to have it all in one game, but if you like ETS2 a lot, you will enjoy Scania Truck Simulator too. I compare it to ETS2 a lot, and for good reason, the games are similar and attract similar gamers except Scania has little mainstream appeal in comparison.

Pros

- hazardous roads are good areas that are really missing from a game like ETS2.- driving school and competition challenges are well done. Some are very difficult!- graphics are as good if not better than ETS2. Some people miss the fact that Scania is actually an older game- the game world is smaller but it is detailed (makes ETS2 look generic in comparison)- bonus content (actual competition photos and videos are good stuff)- there is still a sandbox mode to free-roam in, though...

Cons- smaller and inferior sandbox compared to ETS2 (not bad, but ETS2 is just that good)- driving physics feel inferior to ETS2 [EDIT] - After playing more i find slippery roads and mud to be better than i first thought, so overall physics are quite good.- fewer customisation options (can't set brake sensitivity, disable speed limiter, "pretty up" your truck)- game engine lacks some touches (water splash for ex.) Though i played with the relatively crappy Intel HD4000 IGP, so take that into consideration.

Overall i'd recommend the game. It won't dissapoint, but it wont blow your mind either. A solid "niche" game worth picking up if you're into realistic driving sims.

Scania Truck Driving Simulator (STDS), plain and simple: Do you need help handling your truck? STDS is a game dedicated to helping improve your understanding of truck and trailer handling. If that doesn't interest you, well, I can't make you stay. The rest of the review will be about the gameplay, so buckle up. Or get ready for a nap.

Most of you here must've played Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ETS2) to even be remotely interested in this. Don't be ashamed, this game was mostly forgotten when Euro Truck Simulator 2 came out. Why buy this when ETS2 is obviously newer and better? However, it will be on sale until 15th July, 2014, so if you play Euro Truck Simulator 2, you won't regret buying this.

First, the gameplay. The gameplay varies from simple driving tutorials to driving on dangerous mountain roads. The game gives you thorough practice on the art of trailer reversing, so if you're struggling with that in Euro Truck Simulator 2 (especially multiplayer mod!) then I will recommend this game for you. But do not think you are playing ETS2. Play the game, how you would any other new game. Expect a new game. Obvious, but true.

The handling of the truck (Scania R-series) is different to that in ETS2. The truck feels heavy, underpowered. In fact it might be. But the game isn't about power, or speed. It is about precision and agility, or sometimes even pure luck. Speed is not a big factor in the game. It is perfect if you need to learn about how your trailer behaves on and off the road, whether you try to turn a tight corner or reverse into a loading dock.

That was for comparison to ETS2. Now, onto the game itself. I will recommend you go from top to bottom of the menu list, after adjusting the options.

Driving Licence gives you basic tutorial lessons on truck driving. If you are new to trucking games, this will be a quick introduction, and it can be challenging. If you are confident with your driving skills (looking at you, ETS2 players), play this section regardless. While ETS2 focuses more on freeroaming and company-building, STDS focuses on handling and precision driving (not necessarily at speeds), and the two games are different based on those values.

Driver Competition would be next in line after you finish Driving Licence. You are entered into a competition where you must complete tasks in a showground, while getting around lots of obstacles and without collisions. It will test what you learned previously, and it will also test your patience to the max. Of course, if you're not a perfectionist, things can be a bit less annoying for you.

Dangerous Drives feature a range of locations with real-world challenges, from natural disasters to manmade ones. There are a few hours of content in the section, again, depending on whether you want to perfect every challenge or not.

Freeform Driving is self explanatory, you can deliver cargo in a freeroaming, exploring manner, although the area is not quite as big as other open-world trucking games in the SCS family. It is not the game's primary focus.

Time Reaction Test is also self explanatory, in this section you can test your reaction times. How quickly can you step on the brake pedal when the unexpected occurs?

Overall, the game is a content-rich tutorial into the world of trucking. If you are unfamiliar with how trailers behave when you travel in reverse, or to get a feel of the size of trucks (believe me, you'd be surprised at how much space you actually have), or just plain driving for the fun (and thrill of it!), then I recommend this game for you.

This game is absolutly extrordinary beyond words! It is full of fun and challenges that are actually challenging. It is made by SCS so you know it will definatly be a good game. This simulator puts your skills to the test! Get ready, your in for a fun-packed challenge!

The game comes down to 5 different sections:

Driver Licence-This is just the beginning of the challenges. You will be put through several tests such as reversing, parking, reverse serpentine, and parking.

Driver Competition-This is were you put your skills to the test were your are chellenged with extremly hard challenges such as roundabouts, almost impossible reverses, and more. These driver competetions also take place in real life.

Dangerous Drives-You are put through TONS of different situations such as you being stuck in traffic and the only way out is to go on a road with parked cars all over and try to make it through without crashing! Easier said then done!

Freeform Driving-This is the part of the game that is similiar to Euro Truck Simulator 2 were you deliver goods to different places. However, the only downsides are that there is no navigation/minimap so when you are trying to make a delivery, there is no way of knowing were to go. You are basically always lost. The map is also not that big, but its a good size.

Time Reaction Tests-Lastly, you have the time reaction tests were you are supposed to trive through roads and they give you a "obsticle" and you are supposed to stop as soon as possible.

Overall, This is a GREAT game and I think that it was nessasary that SCS made this game because it really puts your skills to the test and it determens whether you are a great driver or not. It is also Great fun!

Ah, this one's awesome! I use my ancient Momo race wheel with no problems. Excellent physics and handling, the challenges are a blast. A full career mode would have been a grand slam but i'm having a blast with the rest of it anyway. Well done though!

If you liked Eurotruck simulator 2 you won't be disapointed with this. It is the same quality with bigger challenges in smaller places. The deliveries mode map is quite big and I quite like that you have to find the way yourself using the minimap without any gps route planner. The Dangerous drives move is really good too and after completing it you won't find a parking space difficult ever again.

Not bad. Has a similiar feel to Euro Truck but its mostly centered around time trials. A neat driving licence section to test your driving skills.Another section that tests your driving across dangerous places like cliffs.

Its something to have if you want a challenge, if you feel Euro truck is too easy, which it is.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 was like a trucker business sim, with long stretches of road and jobs to take on and get paid so you can buy/upgrade trucks or start your own business. Picking up trailers or delivering them was always really easy, so it wasn't challenging enough to be interesting and the long stretches of road were populated enough with details to be somewhat convincing, but it gets old after a while. The real star of Euro Truck Simulator 2 was the fantastic traffic AI and dealing with traffic respectfully throughout your travels. A great game for what it is.

Scania Truck Driving Simulator is made by the same company, but this time it focuses on everything about truck driving that is technical. There are truck driving license tests, there are championship truck driving competition challenges (exact copies of real life events) which require extreme precision and there are short refined stretches of dangerous drives to attempt more like natural obstacle tracks.

I ate a lot of penalties for minor collisions, but some of the challenges were tricky just to finish at all due to very particular trailer angling requirements around certain bends. You're forced to understand what each mirror is for and gain an appreciation for them, putting them to regular use. Through-out the game, you come to understand some of the strategies necessary to accomodate for the semitrailer.

While it has all those challenge modes, it also has a couple freeroam modes similar to a large city in ETS2 that have trailer missions to pick up and medals to collect if you can find them. Certainly the most casual of the modes, it does not have ETS2's lengthy 30 minute drive requirements and instead focuses more on quick pickup and deliveries with technical driving aspects.

If trucks don't interest you this probably won't change that, but if you care a little bit then you are likely to come out of it feeling elucidated in respect to trucking.
